How to hide columns in an ASP.NET GridView with auto-generated columns?

Question

GridView1.Columns.Count is always zero even SqlDataSource1.DataBind();

But Grid is ok

I can do

for (int i = 0; i < GridView1.HeaderRow.Cel         


        

Answer 1

@nCdy: index_of_cell should be replaced by an integer, corresponding to the index number of the cell that you wish to hide in the .Cells collection.

For example, suppose that your GridView presents the following columns:

CONTACT NAME | CONTACT NUMBER | CUSTOMERID | ADDRESS LINE 1 | POST CODE

And you want the CUSTOMERID column not to be displayed. Since collections indexes are 0-based, your CUSTOMERID column's index is..........? That's right, 2!! Very good. Now... guess what you should put in there, to replace 'index_of_cell'??
